What did you like?

Besonders bei komplexen Prompts bleibt DeepSeek on track. GPT‑4 driftet manchmal, DeepSeek bleibt beim Punkt. Es kann echt gut mit strukturierten Marketingdaten umgehen, besser als Claude oder Gemini in unserer Erfahrung. Für den Output ist das Ding lächerlich effizient. GPT‑4 Turbo kostet uns 2–3× mehr für ähnliche Ergebnisse. DeepSeek kann Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Chinesisch, Spanisch, Portugiesisch... alles auf einem wirklich soliden Niveau.

What did you not like?

Bestimmte politische Inhalte werden in China zensiert. Auch wenn das für uns nicht von Bedeutung ist, wirkt es dennoch befremdlich. Die Reaktionszeit steigt deutlich bei langen Prompts oder bei vielen Referenzen. Manchmal kommt leider einfach Müll raus, besonders wenn du komplexe, mehrschichtige Datenanalysen mit offenen Fragen kombinierst.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Als ich das erste Mal von DeepSeek gehört habe, dachte ich nur, wieder ein weiterer LLM aus dem Nichts, sicher einfach ein GPT‑Clone in billig. DeepSeek hat uns ziemlich von den Socken gehauen. Wir nutzen DeepSeek, um für unsere Kunden in Paid Social und Google Ads Copy zu generieren, die nicht klingt wie von einer KI, sondern wie von einem Texter. Das Modell denkt kontextuell deutlich tiefer als GPT‑3.5, besonders bei Multistep-Prompts in Kampagnenplanung. Wir automatisieren Teile unserer monatlichen Reports mit DeepSeek. Das Tool analysiert Rohdaten aus LookerStudio, Meta Ads & GA4-Exports.

What did you like?

Sprachmodelle wie ChatGPT waren bisher traditionell sehr gut im Verwenden von Sprache, mit starken Schwächen in Logik und Recherchefähigkeiten. Genau diese Lücke schließt DeepSeek - ich habe für eine Weiterbildung im universitären Bereich DeepSeek gebeten, eine Literaturanalyse der letzten 5 Jahre zu einem aktuellen Thema durchzuführen. Man konnte DeepSeek wörtlich beim "Denken" zuschauen - und nicht nur das: es ist das erste Tool, welches aus meiner Sicht seriöse, plausible Quellen in das Paper mit eingebaut hat. Diese Kombination schafft aktuell kein vergleichbares Tool wie z.B. ChatGPT oder Claude.ai. Die "akademische Welt" sollte sich schnellstmöglich damit auseinandersetzen, denn das verändert den wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsprozess noch einmal deutlich.

What did you not like?

Der Hype um das Tool und angebliche Narrative von "für nur x-Millionen Euro" trainiert. Ich bin da eher skeptisch, genau was das Thema Datenschutz betrifft. Ja, DeepSeek ist Opensource, aber ganz ohne kräftigen Server lässt sich das auch nicht mal eben betreiben. Wir sollten uns ein wenig beruhigen, der Hype ist trotz o.g. Funktionalität nicht wirklich gerechtfertigt aus meiner Sicht. Außerdem ist ein Tool mehr als seine Benchmarks - ChatGPT wartet aktuell mit deutlicher freundlicherer UI auf und sinnvollen Zusatzfunktionen, die für viele Endnutzer Sinn machen.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Komplexe Denkaufgabe in Kombination mit der Recherche zuverlässiger, seriöser Quellen. Da habe ich in der Vergangenheit große Defizite bei anderen Playern wahrgenommen, auch Perplexity hat mich nie ganz überzeugt. Lediglich ein wenig mehr Transparenz in der Auswahl der Quellen würde ich mir wünschen.

What did you like?

Der Prozess bei Deepseek ist kostenlos, bietet keine Begrenzung der Text-Token und ist schnell! Empfehlenswert für einmalige KI-Programmieraufgaben.

What did you not like?

Es gibt eine Begrenzung für das Hochladen von Bildern, aber ich persönlich habe sie noch nie erreicht.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Ich nutze Deepseek für schnelle Antworten bei der Softwareentwicklung. Es liefert gute Ergebnisse, allerdings sollte man darauf achten, die richtigen Quellen anzugeben, da es manchmal auch Informationen abruft, die nichts mit dem Thema zu tun haben.

What did you like?

It has helped me to review code, translate blocks between languages and even generate documentation quickly. I also feel it has a very straightforward and less cluttered approach than other more commercial models.

What did you not like?

It doesn't have the same conversational finesse as other larger models, and sometimes misses nuances if you ask ambiguous questions.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

It mainly helps me to save time on technical tasks, write functions, refactor code, interpret errors, prepare scripts.

What did you like?

I noticed that DeepSeek is fast, accurate and quite efficient with long prompts. I have used it for both debugging and function generation from scratch and, honestly, it has been more responsive than I expected.

What did you not like?

has some limitations in creative tasks or when he gets out of the technical realm. Sometimes you notice that his training is more focused on development or specific areas, and when I ask him to write something more narrative or less structured, the answers are more generic.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

I use it as an assistant when programming in Python, and also as a support for data analysis tasks. Instead of spending half an hour googling, I can get straight to the point with a well-formulated query.

What did you like?

DeepSeek has become a strategic tool for my team. It allows us to analyze data, find patterns and prepare reports in a much more agile way. Its ability to summarize technical information and transform it into clear points saves us long meetings.

What did you not like?

In very specialized projects, sometimes the initial information you give requires extra validation. It is not a serious problem, but it forces to cross-check data before taking it as definitive.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Before, we spent too much time gathering and organizing information from different sources to prepare reports and presentations. With DeepSeek, we centralized that work and reduced the preparation time by almost 50%, allowing us to concentrate on the creative and strategic part of the project.

What did you like?

Ich bin kein Fan von übertriebenem KI-Hype. Wir testen viel, aber wir behalten nur Tools, die uns wirklich etwas bringen, in der echten Arbeit, mit echten Problemen. Und DeepSeek ist eins davon. Es ist sehr gut integrierbar in bestehende Systeme, bei uns via API, Slack & Confluence. Wenn wir neue Ideen haben zum Beispiel ein Feature, bei dem Firmenkunden ihre Leasingfahrzeuge digital verwalten können, dann hilft uns DeepSeek dabei, die Idee klar zu strukturieren. Und das Beste ist. DeepSeek denkt mit. Es stellt Rückfragen, wenn etwas unklar ist. Und es macht Vorschläge, die wirklich durchdacht sind, nicht einfach nur das, was man eh schon weiß.

What did you not like?

DeepSeek versteht Fachbegriffe, aber bei juristisch-sauberem Text oder AGB-artiger Sprache sind GPT & Kollegen etwas besser. UI ist nennen wir’s charmant retro. Deshalb haben wir’s gleich in unsere Tools eingebaut, die Weboberfläche nutzen wir fast nie. Kein Plugin- oder App-System. Du kannst nichts nachinstallieren oder customizen, wie bei GPT oder Claude.

Which problems are you solving with the product?

Wir betreiben Plattformen, die Leasing, Fuhrparkmanagement und digitale Fahrzeugservices intelligent miteinander verbinden, effizient, rechtssicher und zukunftsorientiert. Irgendwann im letzten Jahr stellten wir uns die Frage: Warum AI nur als Buzzword nutzen, wenn wir sie sinnvoll in unsere Entwicklungsprozesse integrieren können? Gesagt, getan wir haben es ausprobiert. Dabei stießen wir auf DeepSeek und waren positiv überrascht. Heute setzen wir DeepSeek-V2 und V3 über eine eigene API-Integration ein. Kein schickes Klick-Tool, sondern ein leistungsstarker, zuverlässiger Denkpartner, der uns wirklich weiterbringt.
